![]() ![]() becaue of the formers size, I do not store them in the default download folder location dictated by gPodder but store it on a separate data drive so if my filesystem partitions runs out fo disk space (as that is where my Home directory is located) I will not crash the system! I’ve been there before so I’ve learnt the hard way. Now I suspect I’m not too unusual in downloading a lot of podcasts both video and audio. With my subscriptions back, the next step was to find out where my previously recorded podcasts had gone. I’m sure we could do better but this was enough for me. This might be unique to me because I was using a non-standard location for my downloads, but I solved this by the brute-force technique of doing one last sync to my player from gpodder 2 and then telling gpodder3 to consider all the subscriptions up to date. I had an extra problem, because even after this gpodder3 didn’t recognize any of my previously downloaded podcasts (it wanted to pull down 3Gb of new shows!). Skip past the initial dialog offering you default subscrptions and you can import the OPML file you created in the last step. Once you’ve done it you can quit and run gpodder3. Now you can export your subscriptions to an OPML file that gpodder 3 can import (it’s on the subscriptions menu). ![]() Unpack the files somewhere (we don’t need to actually install it, just run it once. ![]() Here’s what I did: from the gpodder download site I downloaded the last release of version 2 (I used this one). So I was able to recovery my subscriptions. However – it seems gpodder3 keeps it’s configuration in a gPodder directory in your home dir, while gpodder 2 was keeping it’s configuration in. They don’t appear to have supplied any conversion tool nor any warning that your old config wouldn’t be converted (thanks!). Ubuntu 12.10 now ships gpodder 3 which uses a new and incompatible database format. Re: gPodder subscription list gone after upgrade to 12.10 If stuff worked in the previous version, it should remain working in the new version and if it does not then the software should be held back until fixed as with open source there is no commercial pressure to get software out of the door at any cost other than that self imposed by the developers.Īfter a bit of searching on the internet I found an post from gds which is reproduced below: It’s hardly surprising that with these sorts of problems, the year of the Linux desktop remains a distant hope for the community. It a pity that not enough consideration had been given to how to transparently migrate from the SQLLite2 database in gPodder 2.x to the SQLLite3 database in 3.x this could have been avioded. So it was with a degree of horror on upgrading Lubuntu 12.04 to 12.10 that I discovered all of my podcasts (10Gb worth) had apparently disappeared off my hard disk along with the subscription lists. In closing, if you’re looking for a really practical and reliable podcatcher then gpodder is a great choice.In Ubuntu 12.04LTS (and variants) gPodder v2.20 was shipped and as with all previous versions of this podcast catcher software, it was relatively free of any major bugs as all good software should be if properly tested. gpodder is capable of synchronizing the content it downloads with your device so you can easily transfer the files to it. Since podcasts are generally in audio format there’s a chance that you will be listening to them while you are on your commute or other kind of travel and this implies that you are using a portable player. Either way, it’s easy, practical and not at all time consuming. GPodder allows you to add subscriptions by having it search in its own database or by manually inserting the links yourself. In case you come across a file that stirs interest but don’t have the time or possibility to download it in that moment, you can mark the file as unread and leave it so, or delete it if it’s irrelevant. The application also displays a summary of the episode along with the file size and release date. Add subscriptions and view extra detailsĪ file can be downloaded with a simple click after opening its context menu and have it sent to a folder you choose. The main window of the application is separated into two large sections, one from where you can access the audio and video feeds, and the other that displays the episodes from each one. When you run it, it automatically checks for new releases and notifies you if there are any. GPodder is easy to install and use as it displays a more than comprehensive interface. With this little tool you can download and then play or view audio and video files from RSS, Atom, YouTube, SoundCloud, Vimeo and XSPF feeds. ![]() GPodder is an application designed to help you keep up to speed with the latest material that is released on your favorite podcast feeds. ![]()
